Answer:
The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.
Explanation:
Answer:
Volcanism: eruption of molten rock onto surface
tectonics: disruption of planet's surface by internal stresses
erosion: surface changes by water,wind or ice
Impact: impacts by asteroides or meteorites
Explanation:
Terrestrial planets have hard surfaces that can be reshaped by 4 major geological processes, that are:
- volcanism
- erosion
- tectonics
- impact cratering
Each of these processes is caused by different things. For e.g :
Volcanism happens when hot lava reaches the surface and give rise to volcanic planes e.g runny lava makes flat lava plains, while thickest lava makes steep stratovolcanoes
Erosion: is a geological process that removes rock, soil or dissolved materials and transport them by wind or water from one location of earth's crust to another. Example of erosion caused by ice, Glaciers carved by Yosemite Valley.
Tectonics: internal stresses in the earth caused by convection of mantle give rise to tectonic forces. Example compression forces give rise to mountain ranges. And valleys are formed at the point where a cryst is pulled apart
Impact cratering: This is caused when a meteorites or asteroides hits a planet's surface. Impact catering happened immediately after the solar system was formed.
hello there
Andrea's point is probably the answer you're looking for, however, you should keep in mind that many (most?) environmental laws are driven more by politics than by the available data. Scientists do research on any number of topics (environmental or not) that have implications for our society. We (scientists) like to think that policy makers take our data and results into consideration when drafting legislation, but I would say that in my experience this rarely happens. For one, there have rarely been any federal legislators who understand science. Even the few physicians who've gone into politics seem largely to fail to understand very basic tenets of science, or at least they don't often demonstrate it with their political actions. Leaving environmental issues, for example, if politicians took science into account, there would be no discussion in any school district in the country about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools, as there are simply *NO* scientists who are qualified to have an opinion who would suggest it shouldn't. Environmental issues are not really any different.
hope that helped bye
An important tool in understanding the actual numerical dates of past geologic events is radioactivity.
There are a lot of volcanoes,mostly along the pacific ring of fire,mt Fuji in Japan,for example
